There could be a gentoo-YaST fork, which modifies the now GPLed YaST, to: |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
- support installation and modification of the system using ebuilds instead of RPMs |
| 4 |
- do configuration based on the existing configuration files and packages in their locations now used by gentoo, |
| 5 |
not breaking existing settings, init scripts, stuff in /etc/conf.d. |
| 6 |
- read the configuration from existing files, too instead of using registry like yast-rc.conf files like in old SuSE |
| 7 |
(i dont know how current versions of SuSE and/or YaST handle this, but old versions had everything stored in a |
| 8 |
central rc.config and did modify all other configuration files by running SuSE.config and SuSE.config.<packagename> |
| 9 |
for each package the conf was changed (alsa, networking, bla bla ...) |

afaik at least YaST2 is module based, so it should be possible to write gentoo-specific modules based on the original ones. |
